Dover Downs has tapped local TV personalities and public figures to judge Saturday's Diamond State BBQ Championship event.

What do they get in return? Heaping helpings of sauce-slathered meat off the barbie.

Also judging will be Brooke Malone, co-host of the “Morning Mess” on Eagle 97.7; Scott Daniels, president of the First State Chefs Association; and Dover Air Force Base commander Col. Sam Cox, 436th Airlift Wing, as well as Col. Ron Rutland, 512th Airlift Wing.

The competition begins at 10 a.m. on Dover International Speedway’s infield.

Tickets are $5; $1 from each ticket goes to United Way of Delaware.

"Thrill" is all I can say.
For the public and celebrity judges, we normally overcook a bit and sauce it up :lol:
But, that is just us.
Crapshoot as always.

I think this line sums it up well...
Heaping helpings of sauce-slathered meat off the barbie
That's not exactly what I was taught to look for in judging class.

I wouldn't let this one worry me as I see no indication of KCBS sanctioning.

It is a KCBS contest-- State Championship.....

They'll also be trying to make the Guiness World Record "largest crabcake"-- so that right there is something. I guess.

I stand corrected. It would be nice if they made the celebrities sit the judges course.

The panel of judges for the event includes Fox 29 traffic reporter Dorothy Krysiuk...
LOL! I'll have to take my 9 month old kid there to meet her. He goes nuts when he sees her on TV every morning. I think she's his first crush.
